Chapter 38 – She believed that as long as their intentions didn’t changed, they would be able to continue happily cooperating in this type of marriage (1)
Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen had been married for four years, but they had never gone on a date, much less watch a movie together.
Song Tingshen didn’t spend much time on entertainment activities to begin with. Every day, after he finished work for the day, he would go straight home to spend time with his son. He even rarely attended social business gatherings. Still, he had taken Little Wang out several times to see children’s movies.
The three of them were full from dinner, so they weren’t interested in the ice cream, soda, and popcorn that was being sold in the theater. Mother Ruan had of course purchased tickets for a movie that was suitable for children to watch. The theater they were seated in was pretty much filled with adults bringing their children to watch a movie.
Little Wang felt as if the past period was like a dream. He was seated between his mom and dad. He pursed his lips and suddenly realized he wasn’t envious of the other kids at all.
He also had parents that would watch a movie with him!
Ruan Xia had originally though she wouldn’t be interested in this movie, but the Disney-produced movie exceeded her expectations. Although it was a cartoon movie, the plot was pretty good and adults wouldn’t find it disagreeable. No wonder this movie had high ratings on Weibo.
After the movie was over, as they walked out of the movie theater, Little Wang was still immersed in the movie. Holding Ruan Xia’s hand, he discussed the movie’s plot with her, “Mom, the family of tigers sleep together at night...”
As soon as he said these words, Ruan Xia had an ominous premonition.
Little Wang doubtfully asked, “Why doesn’t dad and mom sleep together? Grandpa and grandma sleep in the same bed.”
This child finally realized there was something wrong with his parents’ relationship.
In people’s traditional consciousness, it was only normal for a husband and wife to sleep together. Even if a married couple was going to sleep in separate beds, it normally wouldn’t happen until they were in their 70’s or 80’s.
Ruan Xia didn’t know how to answer this question, neither did Song Tingshen.
Could she directly say that dad and mom were only a married couple in name and they had no feelings for each other?
That didn’t seem right to say.
Ruan Xia was a master deceiver, and she quickly came up with a good excuse. “It’s because mom is used to sleeping late and doesn’t wake up until Uncle Sun is high up in the sky. Dad is worried about waking mom up in the morning, so he sleeps with you instead.” After thinking it over, she added, “So, Little Wang, you should learn to be considerate like dad. Because you wake mom up every morning, mom has dark circles under her eyes!”
Little Wang was only a young child. It was easy to fool him. He pointed at himself. “It’s because I wake mom up? That’s why mom doesn’t like to sleep with me?”
Ruan Xia stroked her chin. “That reasoning works too.”
She didn’t plan on lying to the child more than necessary. After all, he really was messing up her sleeping schedule.
Fortunately, she wasn’t too grumpy when someone woke her up.
Song Tingshen had raised Little Wang very well. At the very least, Little Wang seriously considered this problem.
After they had gotten into the car, he sincerely apologized to his mom, “Mom, it’s all my fault. I won’t wake you up in the morning anymore. But, can I still sleep with you? Mom smells so nice.”
Since he was meeting her halfway, there was no reason for Ruan Xia to refuse the child’s desire to be close to her. “Okay, but you have to keep your word.”
“Okay!”
